COVID Alert Level 4 - TCC update

Communications from Tauranga City Council

We are currently at Alert Level 4
and we're working through what this means for our facilities and services and will update you as soon as we can. But here's what you probably want to know now:

♻️ Recycling and waste collection
These will continue but assisted services are suspended under Alert Level 4. The transfer station is also closed.

👩‍👧‍👦Parks and playgrounds
Some park gates will remain locked and playgrounds will be closed.

People can exercise under Alert Level 4 but should avoid spaces where you cannot practice safe social distancing or come into contact with surfaces that may not be sanitised.

⛰ Mauao
As parts of the tracks up and around Mauao are narrow and people are not able to safely maintain social distances, it will be closed from 7am and kaitiaki will be on site to remind people not to use the tracks.

🐑McLaren Falls will also be closed to the public.

📞Customer Service Centre
The Centre will be closed but the call centre is available 24/7. You can reach them on (07) 577 7000.

📚Tauranga City Libraries
All our libraries are closed. If you have any items, please hold onto them for now. You wont accrue any late fees. There's also an extensive collection of eBooks, eNewspapers, eMagazines and more available through our digital library at www.library.tauranga.govt.nz....

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.

John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
